KTM X-BOW R:
SUPER SPORTS CAR TECHNOLOGY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

SUPER SPORTS CAR TECHNOLOGY

FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

In the form of the production version of the KTM X-BOW, Austrian manufacturer KTM presented its interpretation of a super sports car for the 21st century in 2008. "We wanted to take Colin Chapman's idea of a spartan, lightweight sports car reduced to the bare essentials and transfer it into the new millennium – with as many technological innovations as possible", says KTM CEO Stefan Pierer, reflecting on the development of the first four-wheeled model in the company's history.

The evolution of the revolution

ICONIC DESIGN FROM KISKA

Together with the specialists at Italian sports car manufacturer Dallara, the composites experts at Wethje, the think-tank KTM Technologies and engine partner Audi, what is probably the most exciting super sports car of our times was produced in only 18 months. Of course, the KTM X-BOW takes a large part of its uniqueness from its extraordinary styling. Gerald Kiska and the team at KISKA were responsible for this, creating an iconic modern sports car with their design.

Ready to Race

GRAN TURISMO WITH RACING-DNA

The new GT makes an even wider, lower, more compact and more powerful impression – the fact that the aerodynamics have been improved in order to generate less drag and even more downforce goes without saying, due, if nothing else, to the KTM X-BOW's racing genes. So even the version of the super sports car from Austria with windscreen and soft top is by no means lacking in purism or radicalness. See for yourself - now without a helmet - that just as much 21st century sports car technology is embedded in this latest model and therefore precisely that racing DNA that makes the KTM X-BOW and the driving experience so special. And that it is always "Ready to Race".
